This is an exhibition about differences, but it was conceived to avoid the kind of presentation that European audiences could construe as Difference pure and simple. Australians have a history as colonizers and as a colonized people. For this reason, some of the most thoughtful Australian artists are suspicious of a penchant for exotic experiences and for the picturesque in all its forms.
